In a world filled with opinions that affect the way we view ourselves, it is hard to ignore the noise and to focus on beauty that comes from within. As a beauty expert and connoisseur it is my job to avoid the fluff and to bring you the most honest beauty advice out there. Still it is a constant challenge for me to find truths in an industry that cares so much about outward appearances.

Here at Smash Beauty Bar, we believe that beauty isn’t based solely on looks. Rather we believe beauty is something you are born with that encompasses everything from your personality, your kindness, your humanity, your ability to be compassionate, your laughter and so much more!

When clients come in to our studio with requests of wanting to look like a Kardashian, I simply say, “let’s make you look like you.” You see, it’s your beauty that I want to highlight, not someone else.

In the words of Lady GaGa,

“There’s nothing wrong with loving who you are,

She said, cause he made you perfect, babe,

So hold your head up girl and you’ll go far,

Listent to me when I say,

I’m beautiful in my way

cause god makes no mistakes

I’m on the right track, baby I was born this way.”

If we listen to messages that encourage us to see beauty from within, instead of the noise that clutter our ears, I believe we will all go far. Being born the way you are is beautiful and we should never forget that! Individuality is beauty and wisdom of knowing that is confidence.
